[The world's first typhoon proof floating offshore wind turbine was successfully installed in Yangjiang, Guangdong]

On July 13, the Guangzhou Salvage Bureau of the Ministry of Transport successfully installed the world's first typhoon proof floating offshore wind turbine in the Yangjiang waters of Guangdong. It marks a first in the installation of floating offshore wind turbines in China, and has laid a good foundation for the large-scale development of deep sea wind power in the future. At the same time, it has also contributed to the efforts of the Guangzhou Salvage Bureau to accelerate the transformation of the energy structure of Guangdong Province, achieve the "dual carbon" goal, and help the construction of a powerful transportation country, a powerful marine state and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

The project is located in the A1 area of the Three Gorges Guangdong Yangjiang-Yangxi Shapa-Phase III 400MW offshore wind farm project, with a water depth of 28 to 32 meters, and the center of the site is 30 kilometers away from the shore. The wind turbine set on this platform is the world's first typhoon proof type offshore floating wind turbine, which can withstand a typhoon at Beaufort scale up to level 17. The floating wind turbine has a single unit capacity of 5,500 kilowatts, with a full power generation capacity of 5,500 kWh per hour, and can provide green and clean energy for 30,000 households each year.

With #EnergyChina as the EPC contractor, Singapore's Sembcorp Tengeh Floating Solar Farm had its opening ceremony yesterday. It's the world’s largest floating solar farm that was built in a drinking water reservoir. It will meet the power needs of 5 local water treatment plants.

The operation efficiency of the floating solar panels is 5% to 15% higher than the traditional ones on the roof. It will also reduce 32000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions which is equivalent to the reduction of 7000 private cars. #BetterEnergyBetterFuture

Renewable energy is the way forward

China’s era of dark, satanic mills, churning out “stuff” for the rest of the world, is coming to a close.

Instead, the world’s second largest economy wants to accelerate its shift away from heavy, coal-hungry industry,towards a greener future.

This will involve a big switch towards renewable energy and increasing consumption of produce domestically.

That’s the main message from the Chinese government’s draft 13th five-year plan, unveiled in Beijing on 5 March and expected to be adopted this week.


The “new normal” will involve a shift to moderate rather than dramatic economic growth, based more on consumption than exports.

Growth not consumption
“This is a big shift in how China is thinking about its economy,” said Kate Gordon of the Paulson Institute, a sustainable energy think-tank based in Chicago, Illinois, at a press conference last week. “It’s an attempt to decouple economic growth from energy consumption.”

Central to the planned move away from heavy industry is a nationwide effort to reduce dependence on coal, the dirtiest fuel in terms of carbon emissions.

Indeed, China’s carbon emissions may have already peaked, according to a new report by economist Lord Stern to be published this week.

Much of the impetus for change has come from the Chinese public in response to record levels of coal-related air pollution in recent years in some major cities.


Coal dependency
Figures released last week by the Chinese government showed that it still relies on coal for 64 per cent of its total energy consumption, but this is steadily falling, dropping by 3.7 per cent last year compared with 2014.

At the same time its installation of solar and wind energy is soaring by record levels, rising 74 and 34 per cent respectively last year compared with the previous year.

And it looks as if China is serious about continuing to phase out coal. It plans to introduce caps on coal consumptionin its 10 most polluted cities, according to Barbara Finamore, the Asia director of the Natural Resources Defense Council in Washington DC. Capping targets have already been set by a further 20 provinces and 30 cities.

The government has set up a new body to ensure those targets are met. “It’s called the Regional Coal Consumption Reduction and Substitution Working Group, and it will evaluate the coal reduction plans of each region,” says Finamore. “They can impose penalties on plants that fail to meet the targets.”

Shrinking industry
Already, says Gordon, many of China’s heavy industries are beginning to contract as demand from abroad for manufactured goods shrinks. “China’s steel sector is currently working at just 66 per cent of its capacity,” she says.

The new five-year plan includes $23 billion in funding to give workers in older industries new skills suited to modern “sunrise” sectors such as biotechnology, aviation and intelligent manufacturing.

“What’s exciting is that China has an integrated approach which tackles all these problems – from air quality to climate change – together rather than separately,” says Gordon. “The key will be to show a model to the rest of the world for how to switch to sustainable economic development.”

World's Largest Offshore Converter Station Successfully Installed
20 Jul 2021 by WorldEnergy

On July 18, in the Yellow Sands Ocean area of Rudong, Jiangsu, the offshore converter station of the Three Gorges Rudong Flexible HVDC Project was lifted by the barge and completed the millimeter-level precise docking with the jacket, marking the world built by the Three Gorges New Energy The largest and Asia's first offshore converter station was successfully installed.

This will be the first time the flexible DC transmission technology is used on an offshore wind project in Asia, according to the developer.
The converter station weighs 22,000 tons and is as tall as a 15-storey residential building, according to the developer.

Due to the weight of the unit, China Three Gorges will utilise a floating tow installation method, using the ships’ ballast and natural tides during the process.

CTG places all 96 units at its hydro plants in operation for first time - International Water Power
21 July 2021

China Three Gorges Corporation (CTG) has announced that its six cascade hydropower plants along the main stream of the Yangtze River put all of their 96 power units into operation on 7 July as part of its efforts to meet the peak demand of the grid in the summer, the first time that all the power generators have been in operation simultaneously.

The total power generated from the cascade hydropower plants – Three Gorges, Gezhouba, Xiluodu, Xiangjiaba, Wudongde and Baihetan – reached 52GW on the day.

The total power generated by the cascade power stations from June 11 to July 6 reached 17.85 billion kWh, securing electricity supply in Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces. With all the power units of Wudongde hydropower plant and the first units of Baihetan hydropower in operation, CTG now has six hydropower plants on the main stream of Yangtze River, with a total of 96 power units and a total installed capacity of 57.695GW as of June, up from 45.495GW at the beginning of last year.

CTG also recently announced that the tailrace fish collection and transport system at its Wudongde hydropower plant captured 10,000 wild fish in the Jinsha River between April and July 5, with a daily collection of nearly 2000 fish.

The fixed fish collection and transport system was installed at the tailrace outlet to protect the aquatic life in the Jinsha River and help the migration of rare and endemic fish in the area of Wudongde hydropower plant. The system, the first of its kind in China, has collected 45 species of fish so far, reaching its design objective and initially validating its feasibility.
